Wow on a Wednesday We booked Rewind for an early Wednesday dinner. We were seated by the large picture window which was great for people watching. Be prepared for the comfy retro couches in place of chairs if you are seated near the front. Our server, Vanessa was phenomenal. She was extremely knowledgeable about the restaurant, the food & the surrounding area. If you’re looking for great food & a smooth jazz vibe then Wednesday is your day. Let’s talk about the fantastic food. I ordered the crispy chicken wings with honey sriracha dipping sauce & blue cheese dressing from the starters menu which was 1/2 price during happy hour. I also ordered the Brussels Sprouts in a sweet chili sauce. Both were to die for. DH ordered the beef chili that came with tasty tortilla chips. If you come to DC make sure to visit Rewind to dine in or takeout, especially on Wednesday.

I went here for my birthday! I loved the atmosphere, perfect for pictures. The food was amazing and inclusive for all diets, not to mention you get huge portions for a great price! They accommodated the big reservation I made but you could only split the check in groups by tables and not individually. The music was great and you couldn't hear the club next door. Even my baby nephew loved it, so it's an A in my book. Will definitely be coming back!

We were staying at the Mayflower and were looking for a close convenient eatery nearby. We found "Rewind" on the nearby list of dining places. It was our first time and we thoroughly enjoyed our experience. The food selection was huge with choices. The prices very reasonable for DC and the service was also very good. We happened to arrive still within "Happy Hour" which also was a great perk (50% of common drinks). We definitely would visit again when in the area.

All Hail Freddie, the bar master of all bar masters. Congrats to Dave for starting off right. Rewind is a funky spot with a rare blend of diner, nightclub, and neighborhood hangout. But what makes it my new must-go when I am in DC is the staff. They understand what hospitality means. They go out of their way to make you feel welcome and valued. And they have as good a dessert and milkshake menu as you could ask for. Please take some time to grab a stool, eat some decadent food, and hang out with some great people.

We had a 9:30 PM reservation and they were not ready to seat us at 10:00 PM and acted as if we did not have a reservation. There was no apologies and basically we were ignored. We left as we had an 11:00 PM reservation at the next spot and this venue seemed as if they could care less about our business. Thanks for ruining our birthday celebration. Customer Service at this establishment was non existent and professionalism was much to be desired This place is now on the list of places to not support and as a real Washingtonian I’m extremely disappointed and embarrassed for this level and type of service. Just Ridiculous and they should not participate with OpenTable if they are not going to support the reservations made for their venue as this was the worse experience I’ve ever add using OpenTable.

Our server was wonderful and the food was good. We dropped in around 11pm for a late night drink and bites out group which started off with a reservation for eight ballooned to a group of about twenty. Upon arriving I noticed the place was relatively empty and we would easily fit, spread out in a few lounge areas at the front. I mentioned this to the hostess and was surprised by her immediate disdain. She said they could not acclimated us to which I politely mentioned we could sit in separate areas. She again insisted that due to our reservation being for eight, that is the maximum they would seat. I again explained that friends had decided to join us and we did not mind sitting in separate areas. Her answer to this was “I’ll get my manager”. The manager was not rude but not accommodating either. By then our group arrived and we all started sitting on the different areas. After a while the hostess came back to me and announced they would not split our checks. Grated, we are all sitting at different areas and groups by family or friend group. Finally we were assigned a waiter who was just amazing and made the rest of out time there very enjoyable. It’s unfortunate that some employees don’t consider how these experiences affect their employers and ultimately them as well.

Upon arrival we waited to be seated 30 minutes after the reservation time and was notified that the kitchen is backed up and cannot take any orders for an hour and that’s the time the kitchen closes so we ended up having to find another place to eat.

My party and I ordered the mac and cheese with shrimp and lobster. This entree was poorly executed and very soupy. However the wings were very good and our waitress was helpful. Now here is where things took a bad turn. As this was my bday celebration i was told that i would be able to get a free drink of my choice. So as my friends and I proceeded to drink the happy hour drinks, i asked at the end of dinner if i could get my bday drink now. The waitress told me that unbeknownst to me that she made one of the happy hour drinks my bday drink. That does not make any sense if my bday should have been what I choose. Lastly we then attempted to go to dance club portion of the venue. After being told by the waitress that we would have to exit out and re-enter, we did. While on line we were then told by a very rude and dismissive Caucasian bouncer that we would have to pay a 20.00 cover charge. I explained to him that we had just finished eating and paying a 300.00 bill and were never told that we would have to pay to re enter where we just left. He rudely replied thats not my problem and that i should have done my research as he continued to be rude he called my friends and I a gang. Please not I will not be coming back again and have told others

Overall experience here was good. I visited this restaurant because of restaurant week. It's on the bottom floor of the club decades. The restaurant itself is small. The chairs are comfy sofas but they were a little too low to the ground for me. I'm 5'3 so I had to sit up so I could be high to the table. We ordered quite a few drinks. The strawberry guavarita was disgusting. For $14 I was expecting a good drink. The appletini tasted like cough medicine so another fail there. Finally just went with a lemon drop which was good. For an appetizer we got the loaded tots. They were good but tasted greasy. The brussel sprouts were amazing and the chicken sliders were good but order extra sauce if you get them. My husband had the mac n cheese skillet with chicken which he said was good. Both the chicken ok the sliders and the mac n cheese is seasoned really well. Noise level....it's a bar in dupont so loud as expected. Overall I would come back.
